Adjustable monitor support

Claim 2

An adjustable monitor support assembly for positioning and supporting a monitor under a transparent portion in a working platform comprising: (a) a shelf member having a bottom support portion, a back support portion angularly extending from a rear region of said bottom support portion, lateral side edge portions, and a plurality of support members engaged with said lateral side edge portions; (b) a pair of side supports, each one being substantially vertically oriented, disposed in longitudinally spaced, parallel relationship relative to the other, and located along a different respective one of said side edge portions; (c) each one of said side supports having (1) a forward leg member and a rearward leg member which together comprise a pair of transversely spaced leg members which extend vertically from a floor surface to said working platform; and (2) a plurality of vertically spaced, transversely extending, load bearing members, each said load bearing member having opposite end portions that include fastening means for mounting each of said opposite end portions to a different one of said leg members of said pair; (d) cross brace means including joining means for longitudinally joining said rearward leg members together; and (e) adjustable connector means for connecting individual ones of said support members selectively to at least one of said load bearing members of each said side support so that said shelf member is vertically positionable, transversely translatable and tiltably adjustable relative to said side supports.

Claim 3

The assembly of claim 1 wherein each one of said side supports additionally includes a generally horizontally oriented top bar member which: (a) extends transversely; and (a) has holding means for holding each said top bar member to an upper end portion of each one of said leg members of said pair.

Claim 4

The assembly of claim 2 wherein said bar members project forwardly beyond said forward leg members out over a kneehole region and each said bar member includes a forward, terminal downturned segment, thereby to provide a pair of laterally spaced forward downturned bar member ends.

Claim 5

The assembly of claim 3 wherein each one of said side supports additionally includes a slide member including mounting means for horizontally mounting said slide member between said forward downturned end of said bar means and the transversely adjacent one of said forward leg members.

Claim 6

The assembly of claim 4 wherein a keyboard supporting tray with a rail member horizontally mounted on each opposed lateral side is provided, and each one of said rail members is slidably engaged with an adjacent one of said slides so that said tray is slidably extendible from a first position in said kneehole region to a second position that is outwardly extended from said first position.

Claim 7

The assembly of claim 5 wherein a top platform is positioned over said adjustable monitor support assembly and is supported by and is connected with each one of said bar members.

Claim 8

The assembly of claim 1 wherein said cross brace means includes transversely extending extensions that additionally include further means for joining each said extension with said forward and said rearward leg member of one of said side supports.

Claim 9

The assembly of claim 1 wherein each said adjustable connector means comprises a locking block assembly.

Claim 10

The assembly of claim wherein a top platform is positioned over said adjustable monitor support assembly, and is supported by and is connected with each one of said side supports.

Claim 11

The assembly of claim 1 where each said leg member is connected at its bottom portion with an adjustable foot means.

Claim 12

A work station comprising a top platform that includes a transparent portion, and an adjustable monitor support assembly which supports said top platform, said assembly comprising in combination: (a) a shelf member having a bottom support portion, a back support portion angularly extending from a rear region of said bottom support portion, lateral side edge portions, and a plurality of support members engaged with said lateral side edge portions; (b) a pair of side supports, each one being vertically oriented, disposed in longitudinally spaced, parallel relationship relative to the other thereof, and located along a different respective one of said side edge portions; (c) each one of said side supports having (1) a forward leg member and a rearward leg member which together comprise a pair of transversely spaced leg members which extend vertically from a floor surface to said working platform; and (2) a plurality of vertically spaced, transversely extending, elongated load bearing members, each said load bearing member having opposite end portions that include fastening means for mounting each of said opposite end portions to a different one of said leg members of said pair; (d) cross brace means including means for longitudinally joining said rearward leg members together; and (e) adjustable connector means for connecting individual ones of said support members selectively to at least one of said load bearing members of each said side support so that said shelf member is vertically positionable, transversely translatable and tiltably adjustable relative to said side supports.

Claim 13

A work station comprising a top platform that includes a transparent portion, and an adjustable monitor support assembly which supports said top platform, said assembly comprising in combination: (a) a shelf member having a bottom support portion, a back support portion angularly extending from a rear region of said bottom support portion, lateral side edge portions, and a plurality of support members engaged with said lateral side edge portions; (b) a pair of side supports, each one being vertically oriented, disposed in longitudinally spaced, parallel relationship relative to the other thereof, and located along a different respective one of said side edge portions; (c) each one of said side supports having (1) a forward leg member and a rearward leg member which together comprise a pair of transversely spaced leg members which extend vertically from a floor surface to said working platform; and (2) a plurality of vertically spaced, transversely extending, elongated load bearing members, each said load bearing member having opposite end portions that include fastening means for mounting each of said opposite end portions to a different one of said leg members of said pair; (d) cross brace means including means for longitudinally joining said rearward leg members together; and (e) adjustable connector means for connecting individual ones of said support members selectively to at least one of said load bearing members of each said side support so that said shelf member is vertically positionable, transversely translatable and tiltably adjustable relative to said side supports.

Claim 14

The work station of claim 11 wherein each said leg member is connected at its bottom portion with an adjustable foot means.
